I'm dressed up as the timid eldest daughter, and the whole family has to listen to me!

Upon hearing this, Su Banxia quickly turned around, grabbed her straw saddle, and ran outside, not forgetting to turn back and smile:

"Your marriage is the most important thing right now! You don't need to worry about me!"

After saying that, he disappeared in a flash.

Su Shiyan watched Su Banxia's disappearing figure and shook his head helplessly.

Wang Guihua was busy tidying up the house when she saw her son still standing blankly outside in the yard, so she quickly called out to him:

"Hurry up and brew some tea. They should be here soon, so don't just stand there like an idiot!"

Upon hearing this, Su Shiyan hurriedly went inside to boil water and brew tea.

Wang Guihua prepared some snacks and candies and placed them on the table. Once everything was ready, she called out to Su Hanzhang's room:

"Are you dressed yet? Come out and sit down to wait. I'll go check the door to see if anyone's here!"

Su Hanzhang hurriedly responded from the inner room:

"Alright, alright! I'm coming out now! Don't rush me!"

Wang Guihua was overjoyed. The thought of her son's marriage being settled filled her with happiness. She couldn't sit still any longer and hurriedly went outside to wait for Grandma Sun and the others...

Wang Guihua peered out the door for about fifteen minutes before spotting Grandma Sun approaching with her niece and little girl.

"Oh, Grandma Sun, you've arrived! Come in quickly!"

Wang Guihua hurried forward to greet her, not forgetting to steal a glance at the little girl following behind.

Seeing this, Grandma Sun quickly smiled and pulled her niece's little girl to her side.

"Quick, Lotus, greet her. You can call this lady Aunt Wang."

Lianhua glanced at Wang Guihua, then blushed, lowered her head, and softly called out,

"Aunt Wang, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

Seeing her so docile, Wang Guihua was even more delighted and quickly waved her hand, saying:

"I just came out to greet you and happened to see you. Alright, alright, let's go inside and talk. My Shi Yan is inside preparing tea!"

Seeing this, Grandma Sun smiled and took Lianhua's hand, leading her into the house.

"Alright, let's go inside and talk. You can see how big this newly built courtyard is, and it's even a two-story building. It looks really nice inside!"

Lianhua glanced back at her mother, then followed Grandma Sun into the courtyard.

Seeing that Su Shiyan hadn't come out yet, Wang Guihua called out into the house:

"Shi Yan, hurry up and bring out the tea. Your Grandma Sun has brought the young lady."

Upon hearing this, Su Shiyan hurriedly came out of the kitchen with his teacup. As soon as he came out, he saw Lianhua standing timidly behind Grandma Sun. His face immediately flushed, and he stammered:

"Mother, the tea is ready. Let's go inside and sit down before it gets cold..."

Seeing this, Wang Guihua quickly stepped forward and took the tea tray from Su Shiyan's hands, smiling as she said:

"You silly child, you don't even know how to greet people. Your Grandma Sun is with that girl named Lotus, and the one behind her is Lotus's mother, right?"

As Wang Guihua spoke, she craned her neck to look at Grandma Sun, who, upon seeing this, quickly smiled and nodded.

"Yes, yes, this is Lotus's mother, you should call her Aunt Luo."

Su Shiyan, upon hearing this, scratched his head and said with a smile:

"Look, I was so busy that I forgot to greet you. Grandma Sun, Lianhua, and Aunt Luo, please come in and sit down. You must be tired from your journey."

Aunt Luo saw that Su Shiyan was a sensible person who knew how to greet people and had a gentle temperament, so he seemed a bit simple and honest. However, his courtyard was spacious, which indicated that he was from a wealthy family.

If her daughter could really marry into this family, she could finally hold her head high in the village, instead of those old ladies always bragging about how well their daughters had married. Now that her daughter had such a good son-in-law, Aunt Luo was naturally very happy and had nothing to worry about.

So Aunt Luo didn't stand on ceremony, stepped forward, took Su Shiyan's hand, and patted it a few times.

"Look how handsome and dashing this young man is! He's got style and confidence. That's the kind of man you should look for when you're looking for a son-in-law!"

Upon hearing of Luo She's death, Wang Guihua couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.

“Our son doesn’t have any other faults. He’s just considerate and caring, and he also knows how to make money. Today, he’s staying home to look for girls. Otherwise, he would have gone to town with his sister to sell candied hawthorns early this morning.”

Aunt Luo nodded in satisfaction upon hearing this.

"If you put it that way, this young man seems quite capable. He's sure to have a prosperous future. The only thing he needs is someone to manage the household affairs."

As she spoke, Aunt Luo glanced at her daughter.

“Our daughter may not be good at much else, but she’s first-rate at taking care of the household. Go ask around in every village for miles around, and everyone will praise our Lianhua for her delicious cooking and excellent homemaking skills!”

Grandma Sun laughed heartily upon hearing this and said:

"Oh dear, how could I, the matchmaker, not know? Both of our children are good matches. Otherwise, would I be arranging this marriage for you two families? I think if we stand at the door any longer, we'll be dried out by the wind. Come on in and sit down!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Guihua slapped her forehead and laughed:

"Isn't that right? Look at my brain! I've been leaving you all standing outside. Come on in and sit down for a while!"

As she spoke, Wang Guihua led everyone into the house.

Once inside, Wang Guihua first asked Grandma Sun to sit down, then pulled Aunt Luo and Lianhua to sit down as well.

"Lotus, have a taste. These are freshly made candied hawthorns today. I specially saved a few for you!"

Lianhua smiled and nodded to Wang Guihua, then timidly reached out and took the candied hawthorn from Wang Guihua, took a small bite, and then covered her mouth with a smile:

"These candied hawthorns are really delicious."

Seeing this, Wang Guihua quickly picked up another string of pearls and handed them to Aunt Luo and Grandma Sun respectively.

"Although this is a toy for kids, it's nice to have one or two skewers every now and then. It's sweet and delicious. You should try some too. It's freshly made and tastes amazing."

Seeing this, the two exchanged a glance, then reached out and took the candied hawthorns to taste, both nodding and praising them.

"This stuff is really delicious, the sweet and sour flavor is quite delightful!"

As she spoke, Aunt Luo took another bite of the candied hawthorn and savored it carefully.

"Oh my, I've never eaten this before in my life. I didn't expect this kid's treat to be so good. I'm addicted to it now. I'll help you two arrange this marriage! You'll have to provide me with candied hawthorns from now on!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Guihua burst into laughter.

"Grandma Sun, you are a great contributor. From now on, whenever you want to eat candied hawthorns, you can just come and have some."

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, Su Shiyan secretly glanced at Lianhua sitting on the corner of the table. He noticed that Lianhua's skin was delicate and she looked like she had been pampered and spoiled, unlike a country girl.

Just as Su Shiyan was about to examine the lotus more closely, he saw the lotus raise its head and meet Su Shiyan's eyes...
